Even the goodbye kiss what the typical little pecks that they give to the ones they're not feeling as romantic about. She cares about Reid but I think it's more of a good camaraderie than someone who gives her butterflies.

Not so with Kiptyn. She obviously is crazy about Kiptyn and it was telling that she said she can be herself with him. I thought it was a very good date. I loved the caution tape, lol. I also thought the outtake at the end was good. The song was too funny.

Wes, what can I say. I hated that the other guys' dates were teeny tiny in comparison. Jillian does seem very into him but I just don't see why. He just doesn't seem sincere and I don't think that's all editing. I noticed they didn't show the part we saw in one of the commercials where she said Wes was the one she could see herself with. Maybe they're not totally throwing her under the bus. I don't see him making it past Spain. I think she doesn't give him a rose and he goes home to make his cd.

I was hoping they'd show more of Ed but I'll take what I can get. It was obviously a surprise to her but she had a hard time hiding her smile and gave a wonderful, glowing one just after she asked him to come to the RC. She also snugged right up to him when she first sat down. I know there will be those that pick apart everything Ed did and said but I think he meant it and has strong feelings for Jillian. His expression when she walked into the RC was telling and you can tell it hurt him when she said that she wanted to thank "most of you for getting me to your hometowns".

Right now I'd say that Kiptyn and Ed are the ones she has the strongest connections with on both sides. With Wes it's more on her side. I felt bad for Jesse and Michael. It's clear they were hurt.

It is different that you feel that way about the date for Reid.........you obviously missed the good bye kiss as that was a very long and deep one. I feel that there is tons of chemistry with Reid---it is actually getting very hot, there is chemistry with Kip too, but with Ed, there is no where near the chemistry with him as the other 2 in the final 3

Re: Bachelorette 5**** Spoilers, episode 7 with screencaps

I felt that the whole HTD with Reid was weird. He didn't appear that excited to see her when she first arrived. I understand that he couldn't very well run to her with two cups of coffee in his hands but the guy could have at least met her halfway. Reid came across as not really wanting to hold her hand or touch her when they were walking along on the sidewalks. I also have a feeling that if Jillian and Reid end up together that his needing his families approval/advice all of the time is going to cause some problems. His brothers bringing up that Reid has commitment issues is also a very bad sign.

ITA completely with the bolded section...........I definately don't think that Ed is there for the right reasons and hopefully Jill will figure that out soon enough.

Re: Bachelorette 5**** Spoilers, episode 7 with screencaps

At this point, what other reasons would Ed HAVE for being there? Meaning, this late in the game what are the wrong reasons? Are you thinking he just came back to get a night in a Fantasy Suite?

P.S. I agree Ed did NOT look love-sick and his sincerity was totally questionable, in my opinion. He looked like somebody was forcing him to be there and forcing him to convince Jillian he came back by choice. But I wrote the question about because it just struck me odd wondering what reasons a guy would have for returning? It would be a whole different set of reasons than for coming on the show the first time...

I think he is in this case, you can see it on Jill's face the whole time how much she is enjoying the date. It is very obvious that Jill and Reid are getting very close and the chemistry between them is in-deniable.

Please!" I have said for a while now that the whole Ed leaving/returning was producer influnced and tonight really showcased that for me. Perhaps TPTB should hire better writters if they insist on doing this scripted crap.

I agree...........I really don't see how you can watch that scene and feel good about it. It completely screams made up to me and completely unbelievable. Something has always struck me as odd with Ed..........I couldn't put my finger on it, but haven't felt good about him or liked him from the beginning.

It's amazing how people can watch the same scene and see such different things. I saw hesitancy and nervousness and discomfort when they first met and not too much in the way of conversation from then on. Reid didn't get very enthusiastic when his dad asked him what he was feeling, just that yeah, he could see himself falling for her. She got him all flustered when she tried to show him some affection while they were sitting on the couch. Even the good bye kiss looked a little awkward.

Jillian said the right things in her PI's, that the date had been wonderful and had gone to another level and yada yada yada but I didn't see the chemistry happening.
